Publisher's Synopsis
Having pets in your life is indeed a blessing. We share a special bond with our pets. They become part of our family and bring light and joy to a home. Some people say they are dog people. Some say they are cat people. Some people are fortunate to be both. They get the benefits of each! Contrary to the popular myth that dogs and cats are natural enemies, dogs and cats can and often do become the best and most loyal of pals. They play together, sleep side-by-side, groom each other, are very affectionate toward each other, and often become a bonded pair. Furthermore, studies actually show that animals bonded to one another live longer and healthier lives! Do you think that that having two companion animals is always double the work? Having a pair of furpals can actually be less work. This alleviates boredom and separation anxiety that can occur with a single pet and provides stimulation and security, preventing many destructive behaviors. Also, they have each other's company while you are away at work. Children can learn important lessons from their pets, too. Seeing the ways they support each other provides a great example of the importance of loyalty and cooperation. Observing their pets can also provide a natural way for families to discuss sibling relationships. Having both a dog and a cat can definitely double the fun and the benefits! Your journal has two pages for each entry. They provide space for you to record the title or topic of each entry, what you learned from your dog and cat, and how you have used or can use what you learned. Look for more "What I Learned " journals about pets and people at amazon.com.
